Abstract

Past-Life Therapy is a product of the evolution of
traditional psychotherapy. It can be considered both
as a natural progression of age regression and as a
means of accessing the collective unconscious. There
are differing methods of recalling past-life reports.
Various explanations for the phenomena discussed are
other personal lives (past, future and simultaneous) ,
collective unconscious including morphic field, quantum
field and simultaneous time; and false memories
including implanted memories, cryptomnesia, and
memories of others, such as possession. Although most
of the research prior to 1980 was centered around
verifying the facts recalled in other historical life
times, in order to prove reincarnation, the historical
information revealed in past life experiences do not
have to be factual for the client to benefit from the
therapy. Case studies and empirical studies will be
critically reviewed and suggestions will be made for
the design of further studies.
